The statistics are used to compile weightings in the Consumer Price Index and for calculation of the private consumption in the National Accounts. The statistics were first compiled in 1897 and annually since 1994., Statistical presentation, The Household budget survey is an annual statement of the detailed private consumption at household level for private households in Denmark. The survey covers private households in Denmark. The household budget survey provides a detailed breakdown of consumption. In the most detailed breakdown, consumption is divided into approx. 1,200 different consumption types., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The survey is based on a sample where the number of households accounts for about 2,200 out of Denmark's total of approximately 2.8 million households. , The survey included data from three different data sources: Accounting booklets, CAPI interviews and data from registers. In this way the sample can give results which are good approximations for all private households. The data from the 3 different sources are validated. We are constantly looking at how we can improve and compile the statistic in a more efficient way., Data is collected annually from approximately 1,100 households and the sample for one years household budget survey is based on the sample from two years. All expenses, income, etc. are converted to the price and volume level of the end year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, In addition to the general public the Household Budget Survey has a wide application. Internally in Statistics Denmark during the compilation of national accounts and price indexation. Public authorities' planning and feasibility studies, etc. Internationally, where especially EUROSTAT is very active in order to establish comparable figures between countries. Research in a number of areas, as well as for marketing purposes., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, With only 12 pct. of the households who have been contacted participating in the Household Budget Survey. This creates uncertainty, not least for detailed consumer groups. For total consumption, this means that there is an uncertainty margin of +/- 1.8 per cent. while that for that for bread is 2 per cent. and 24 per cent. for a rarely purchased item such as offal. There is underreporting in a number of areas such as alcohol, tobacco, prostitution and undeclared work. The uncertainty is greater when data is based on accounting rather than interviews, and it will be greater if one looks at smaller subgroups of households., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published approximately12 months after the end of the reference year. The statistics are usually published according to the time announced. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Household Budget Survey is conducted in accordance with guidelines from the European statistical agency Eurostat. Comparable figures are published by Eurostat. Since 1994, the survey has been methodologically rearranged and is now conducted annually by the same method and on a comparable basis., Data for 2014 and onwards are based on a two-year-old sample and COICOP5 nomenclature (Classification of Individual Consumption). To ensure comparability and continuity over time, data from 1994 to 2013 were recalculated in compliance with the new nomenclature in both current and constant prices, From 2023 onwards, data is based on the COICOP2018 nomenclature. To ensure comparability and continuity over time, data from 2015 to 2022 has been recalculated according to new nomenclature in both current and fixed prices., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The Danish Household Budget Survey is published in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

The statistics are used by i.e. EU, tourism organizations and municipalities in order to analyze the development in camping tourism. The survey has been compiled since 1971, but in its current form comparable from 1992 and onwards. , Statistical presentation, These statistics are a monthly summary of occupancy and capacity in Danish campsites with a minimum of 75 camping units. The statistics are broken down by nationality of the guests, permanent leased pitches and geography by NUTS 2 level. Furthermore there is a annual summary of occupancy and capacity in Danish campsites with 10-74 camping units. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for the statistics are collected monthly from Danish campsites with a minimum of 75 camping units and yearly from Danish campsites with 10-74 camping units using an online questionnaire on Virk.dk, or by using a system-to-system solution where the campsites booking system automatically sends data to Statistics Denmark. Collected data are validated on micro-level during the data collection and again on macro-level when aggregated. The validated data are then imputed with missing values and afterwards aggregated into geographical and nationality totals. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are for example relevant for accommodation businesses, Eurostat, ministries and business and tourism organizations for forecasts, analysis and planning. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The monthly statistic only covers campsites with at least 75 camping units. The annual statistics also cover campsites with 10-74 camping units. A possible source of error can be that the respondents have difficulties distinguishing between the concepts of nights spent and arrivals. Another possible source of error may be the fact that the reported data is in many cases based on estimations by the respondents. Missing answers are imputed which may lead to revisions of published data. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The monthly statistics for campsites with a minimum of 75 camping units are published approx. 40 days after the end of the reference period. Publications are released on time, as stated in the release calendar. The annual statistics for the final data and for campsites with 10-74 camping units are published approx. 100 days after the end of the reference year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Statistics Denmark includes nights from permanent leased pitches, which can cause an overestimation compared to other European camping statistics which do not include data from nights spent on permanent leased pitches. The statistical organisation of EU "Eurostat" does not include nights spent on permanent leased pitches when they publish data from countries in EU. From 2013, the number of nights on permanent leased pitches is based on factors of average lead times on camp sites. This change may result in a lack of comparability, but it is not expected to be significant. The number of nationalities has expanded from 13 to 51 nationality groups. This can lead to a lack of consistency when comparing data over time. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in , News from Statistics Denmark, .

The statistics are used for e.g. monitoring of business cycles, regulation of contracts, analyses of developments in pay levels as well as input in the calculation of the National Accounts., The statistics have been prepared since 2018 with data back to the first quarter of 2016. A revised index and time series are published in May 2023 with data back from 2016., In parallel, Statistics Denmark is calculating the implicit index of average earnings. Unlike the standardised index, the implicit index of average earnings does not take changes in the occupational composition into account., Statistical presentation, The standardised index of average earnings is a quarterly estimate of the developments in pay levels for employees in Denmark, adjusted to the extent possible for changes in the occupational composition, e.g. shifts of employees between industries and/or occupation. The statistics show the development in the average hourly earnings for employees by sector, industry (DB07) and main occupation (DISCO-08). Each quarter, an index value and an annual increase are published., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for these statistics are collected quarterly. For the public sector all payroll information are collected while data are collected via a sample from the private sector. The collected data is validated at an aggregate level for key enterprises (only in the private sector) and at an individual level through a combination of validation rules for the hourly earnings for the individual employment relationship. The hourly earnings are assessed based on sector, industry, main occupation and type of employment. Once data has been validated, base index is calculated for each homogeneous group, which afterwards is aggregated to sub- and total indices at sector, industry or main occupation level., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for private enterprises and organisations, as well as ministries and other public institutions for analysis, contractual regulation etc. The statistical data are also used in other areas within Statistics Denmark, e.g the calculation of the Danish National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The accuracy of these statistics are higher for employees in the public sector than in the private sector. The reason for this is that the statistics for employees in the public sector (more or less) consists of all payroll information, while the statistics for employees in the public sector is based on a sample of enterprises. The accuracy of the statistics for the private sector is therefore affected by sampling uncertainty, completeness of the reported information and non-response. The impact on the indices are unknown., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published two months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are released typically without delay according to scheduled dates of publication. , In February 2022, the statistics were paused and a comprehensive service review was initiated. As a result, the method for calculating standardized index of average earnings was revised. This publication therefore contains revised index values and annual increases for the entire period from the first quarter of 2016 until the first quarter of 2023. This means that the series contains revised values from the first quarter of 2016 until the third quarter of 2021 as well as previously unpublished values from the fourth quarter of 2021 until the first quarter of 2023., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The standardised index of average earnings was first published in December 2018 with a time series starting in the first quarter of 2016. The standardised index of average earnings utilize the same data as the implicit index of average earnings, which however has a different purpose and is therefore calculated using a different method. There exist a few sets of statistics abroad that are partly comparable with the standardised index of average earnings. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published quarterly in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

In relation to the publication of the new Standardised index of average earnings, these indices were renamed to Implicit index of average earnings. In the new index changes in the workforce is taken into account when calculating the development in earnings., The Implicit index of average earnings goes back to first quarter of 2005 for the private sector and first quarter of 2007 for the public sector., Statistics Denmark has decided to discontinue the implicit index of average earnings at the beginning of 2026 with the publication of the index for the fourth quarter of 2025. Instead, users are advised to use the standardised index of average earnings, which also illustrates the development in pay level for employees in Denmark. The discontinuation of the implicit index of average earnings will not have any impact on the standardised index of average earnings, which will be the only wage index from Statistics Denmark in the future. The historical series of the implicit index of average earnings will continue to be accessible in StatBank Denmark. In order for users to handle the transition to the standardised index of average earnings, a guide (in Danish) has been prepared on how to switch from the implicit to the standardised index of average earnings in practice. It is available on Statistics Denmark's information page on , indexation, ., Statistical presentation, The Implicit index of average earnings is a quarterly statistic of the development in wages for all employees in Denmark, including students and young persons under 18.

Manual corrections are also made if required. Only companies that are present in both quarters are included in the calculations., In the calculation of the most detailed sub-indices, data for the private sector are weighted to the target population and the individual employment types are weighted with the hours worked., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Implicit index of average earnings is a so-called unit value index, where wage trends are estimated on the basis of a simple salary average of all employees in the same industry. This means that wages partly reflect changes in staff composition in a given industry., Private enterprises as well as ministries etc are the central users. The index is used especially in connection with various contract regulations, as well as the regulatory scheme in the public wageagreements., The Implicit index of average earnings is the wage index that comes closest to being comparable to the European LCI., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, For the public sector the statistics are based on data for virtually all employees. For the private sector, there are two factors that can affect accuracy, namely uncertainty in the sample statistics and that there may be problems with the completeness of the reported data from the company., This index is an where the sum of wages and hours worked is counted in each group (etc. activity sector). Thus, changes in personnel in a given industry will have an impact on the measured wage development., The figures do not undergo revision; the published figures are usually final., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The implicit index of average earnings are published approx. 60 days after the end of the reference quarter, at the same time as the standardised index of average earnings is published. These statistics are published without delay., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The implicit index of average earnings is comparable since first quarter 2005 but for some sectors, comparable wage indices also exist further back in time. The implicit index of average earnings is based on the same data as the standardised index of average earning, but there are significant differences in methodology that allow the two wage indices to be used only partially for comparison., Internationally, the implicit index of average earnings can be compared to the labor cost index collected and published by Eurostat for all EU countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The implicit index of average earnings is published in Statistics Denmark’s newsletter on [https://www.dst.dk/da/statistik/nyheder-analyser-publ/nyt?psi=1931), together with the standardized index of average earnings.

Often the development in e.g. in-migration is different from what was assumed and, for that reason, the projection will typically not match the actual development exactly., Statistics Denmark has prepared population projections since 1963. Since 2010, the projections have been produced in collaboration with DREAM (Danish Research Institute for Economic Analysis and Modelling), which is an independent institution whose purpose it is to develop and maintain tools for structural policy analysis. , Statistical presentation, Based on the projection for all of Denmark, Statistics Denmark subsequently makes projections that can be disaggregated by sex, age, provinces and municipalities. As part of the projections, figures are also available on demographic changes in terms of liveborn children, deaths, immigrants and emigrants., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The population projections are based on historical data regarding the composition of the population in terms of sex, age and ancestry as well as fertility, mortality, immigration and emigration, and internal migration., Assumptions on the future development in fertility, mortality and migration are necessary to be able to make the projections., The projections are made every year using the population on 1 January. They are released in the beginning of May., A projection is made for the whole country as well as projections for the 11 provinces and 98 municipalities., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The projections for municipalities are widely used by the municipalities, and they create the basis for the municipalities’ own projections, which often incorporate a number of local factors that are not part of Statistics Denmark’s projections. The municipalities may use the projections in their planning of institutions, schools and the need for nursing homes in the future. Local media across the country take great interest in Statistics Denmark’s projection., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The population projection is built on previous years’ development and is an estimate of the population development. The estimate is subject to a number of conditions and assumptions on migration, mortality and fertility. The projection is based on the assumption that the development seen in recent years will continue. Often the development in e.g. in-migration is different from what was assumed and, for that reason, the projection will typically not match the actual development exactly., In 2024 the projection for Denmark was 0.1 percentage points below actual population growth. To a wide extent, the uncertainty at municipal level is linked to the fact that local development plans and local decisions are not part of the model. Especially in 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty. In 2024, 60 per cent of the municipalities were within minus 0.5 percentage points of the actual population growth the first year. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Statistics have been published as announced without delay in the month of May or June., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Each projection is a new set of statistics and must not be used for time series together with previous projections., With the projection 2010, Statistics Denmark made the projection for all of Denmark for the first time in collaboration with DREAM, and in connection with this, a switch was made to a new projection model based on DREAM’s previous model., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The population projections are published in Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik (Statistics Denmark’s news series in Danish) under the subject , Population projections, .

Documentation of statistics: Prices and price index for agriculture

Contact info, Food Industries, Business Statistics , Simone Thun , +45 51 36 92 51 , SIT@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Prices and price index for agriculture 2025 , Previous versions, Prices and price index for agriculture 2024, Prices and price index for agriculture 2023, Prices and price index for agriculture 2022, Prices and price index for agriculture 2021, Prices and price index for agriculture 2020, Prices and price index for agriculture 2019, Prices and price index for agriculture 2018, The purpose of these statistics is to illustrate the evolution of agricultural prices and price indices. The agricultural sales index illustrates price trends for both vegetable and animal sales products and services. A part of the statistics have been calculated since 1956, but since 1970 the most widely definition has been used, which includes horticulture, fur production and products from bees and wild game. , Statistical presentation, The Statistics contains for almost all items, monthly, quarterly and yearly information of agricultural prices, as well on sale products as on most products used in the intermediate consumption including capital formation. Some prices are only obtainable as price indices only, especially regarding intermediate consumption. The statistics covers both agriculture and horticulture. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected at different frequencies from multiple sources. The collected data undergoes a simple validation. Once data is validated, aggregation occurs for a portion of data before publication, while other data is while other data is published directly. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are used by agricultural organizations and ministries to monitor price developments within the industry as well as as a basis for various analyzes and forecasts. The basic data and results of the statistics are also applied to other statistical areas in Denmark Statistics, for example, for the calculation of the gross income of agriculture as used in the National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, On some products, i.e. horticultural products, qualities and types are several and dynamic. It makes it a little difficult to be sure on the representatively on the prices followed. Concerning input prices based on general price statistics, the situation in agriculture are maybe not fully reflected. Some indices on volumes are indirectly measured based on values and price indices. This method can lead to inaccuracy. The declaration on content on Economic Account for Agriculture and these on animal production includes more information on possible inaccuracy. Because of the very different picture of sources, margins of statistical errors can not be calculated. However, for main output products, i.e. milk and meat, the coverage and accuracy are close to 100 per cent. Prices on cereals and feeding stuff (concentrates) are based on more that 70 per cent of total volume, which ensure high reliability. In general, the accuracy is highest on sales product and less high on intermediate consumption and goods for capital formation., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published without any delay in relation to the published release times., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics are comparable in their current form from 2005 onwards. The price indices are re-based approximately every five years, most recently in 2024 with base year 2020=100, which limits full comparability over long time periods. As of 2025, a new method for collecting fertiliser prices has been introduced, resulting in a data break affecting only the fertiliser price index. The overall price index for agricultural input consumption is still considered comparable over time. The statistics follow common European guidelines and are therefore comparable with similar statistics from other EU countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published annually in a Danish press release.

The state museums and the stat recognized museums continues unchanged., Statistical presentation, The statistic is yearly and it shows the number of visitors inclusive children and young people under 18 years. Furthermore it gather information about yearly opening hours. From 2022, the statistic also show the number of volunteers, hours worked by volunteers and the total admission revenue (incl. annual passes), as well as the number of events outside the premises of the museum and online events (live-streamed) and participants in the two type of events. The museums have different categories and the statistic delivers a time series on the number of visitors since 1984., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Annual electronic questionnaires answered by the individual museums. The statistics on museums is validated and corrected at the micro level i.e. the individual museums. If a museum has large fluctuations in the number of visitors contacted the museum for a clarification of the cause. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The overviews of the individual museums visitor numbers are much in demand., The users are primarily the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, The Danish Agency for Culture, organizations engaged in activities within in the field of museums and the news media, Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Reporting to the museum statistics is voluntary, so the statistics are not fully comprehensive. Several of the smaller museums do not have the resources to report to the statistics. There are also museums that are not state aid that have asked to be exempted from receiving a form., In 2016, schedules were sent out to 430 museum departments. In 2017, forms have been sent out to approx. 400 museum departments. In 2018, forms have been sent out to approx. 380 museum departments. In 2019 forms have been sent to approx. 370. The reason for sending fewer forms is due, for example, to the fact that museums close, exempt from the survey or have wanted to receive one report despite having several places. In 2020 forms have been sent to approx. 380 museum departments. In 2021 forms have been sent to approx. 460 museum departments. In 2022 forms have been sent to approx. 600 museum departments. The reason for the expanded population is due to a screening of potential museums based on the industry code in the Business Register. The reporters had to answer whether they had a collection that the public had access to. If they answered 'yes', they were included in the statistics. If they answered 'no', they were excluded. In 2023 forms have been sent to approx. 460 museum departments. In 2024 forms have been sent to approx. 450 museum departments. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Statistical data are published approximately 5 months after the end of the reference period. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, It is possible to compare the survey for visitors to state museums and state recognized museums. For museums with other state subsidies and not state-subsidized museums, there may be a variation in e.g. the number of visits etc., which is due to composition effects, and it is not necessarily the same museums or the same number of museums that are included in the population or report to the statistics each year. For museums with other state subsidies and not subsidized museums, comparison with data before 2016 should also be taken with reservation as population formation changed in 2016.
